why are you in my head?
disappear?
well i thought you said no
cause i did
it’s terrible isn’t it?
i knew it
i wish all these words
were further than my head
if i’m going to sink away
i’d rather choose my ship
don’t breathe just yet
i’m coming up for air
if there’s ever been a time
when you felt alive
why did you forget?
how could you move on?
if you’re feeling remorse
don’t forget the true past
nothing like a war
nobody can win
those words you don’t mean
hurt worse than ones you do
just tell the truth
pretend it’s alright
get on with life
sometimes i want to be like someone else. the day i wrote this i guess it was e.e. cummings.

also, “lovely rita” has the best intro (in the beatles catalog) that doesn’t (in my opinion) then continue into an equally tremendous song.

i did this…thing. i was calling it a sound collage…i guess that’s mostly what it is. it’s mostly just me experimenting to see what i can do with a bunch of different sounds. it may turn into something more in the future, but for now i’m satisfied. (no i’m not. i just don’t want to get stuck working on one thing in perpetuity. and maybe go with something a little more accessible to other people?) anyway, the idea is kinda to communicate some of what is going on in my head right now. at least with regards to music. i’m not sure how successful it actually is, but i might as well throw it out there.
so the gist of the track is a combination of various clips of music and conversation from within the walls of my bedroom. the “base layer,” i guess, is a smattering of beatles bootlegs i was listening to on youtube. (the idea for the whole thing came from me listening to “revolution 9” from the white album, so that seemed like a cool idea.) now the more i talk about it, the more i want to explain every piece of it, but that would defeat listening to it.
it’s called “today was yesterday tomorrow.”
edit: i definitely went straight away and remixed the thing for another 30 minutes, so…maybe now i’ll quit.
dusk
her gaze captures me neatly
in blue unwavering eyes
when they’re closed i’m blind
and gladly stumble in the dark
oh breathe sweetly, please
let me follow your voice home
she has swallowed me whole
beneath her skin i’ll stay
til i’m just a jilted lover
with nothing new to say
oh sweet breath
oh sweet caress
lead me not away
